Runnymede

 Saturday was back again. and this time we headed for the National Trust site called Runnymead.
 From Slough it as easy as catching the catching the No8 Bus. So we headed to out of Sough to Windsor and old, upto Royal Halloway before heading to Egham. About a 30minute Bus ride.

 Once at Egham we headed across to the south end of Runnymede. Site of the Magna Carta being sealed more than 800 years ago. This is is not much more than paddocks now. From the South, we head along the River Thames north towards the National Trust Buildings and Monuments. 
 The river was very peaceful 
The river was busy also we Corporate Lion Boats passing.
So we kept walking north.
Across the paddocks seeing works and moles everywhere. 
Once at the monuments we explored.
This one is from the Amercian Bar Association
 It was probably the most impressive
 But the Main Monument is the Chairs of the Jurors
 All the chairs have special designs
Jenny having studied about the Manga Carta







Finally the J F Kennedy Monument.
Surprisingly it was very special.
 And what a View
 Oh the way Back home we got to see Windsor again.

 But there was the Bus ride home with a special Lady.
